WEBVTT
MINUTES," TRUMP SAYS ONCE
HE'S IN OFFICE, HE'LL TONE IT
DOWN.
WHETHER HE DOES OR NOT EVERYONE
WILL BE CHECKING IN ON
@REALDONALDTRUMP.
IN NASHUA DURING THE PRIMARY,
DONALD TRUMP PROFESSED HIS LOVE
FOR SOCIAL MEDIA.
DONALD TRUMP: THAT'S ONE OF THE
THINGS I LIKE ABOUT TWITTER.
I'M ABLE TO DO IN A FEW WORDS IF
SOMEBODY HITS ME, I CAN HIT THEM
BACK.
YOU KNOW, IN THE OLD DAYS I
COULDN'T DO IT.
WHEN YOU HAVE 12 MILLION PEOPLE
BETWEEN TWITTER AND FACEBOOK,
THAT'S LIKE OWNING "THE NEW YORK
TIMES" WITHOUT THE LOSSES.
YOU KNOW?
YOU JUST GO BING, BING THEY HIT
YOU.
YOU GO BING, BING, BING, BING.
ALL OF THE SUDDEN THEY'RE LIKE
DEVASTATED.
ADAM: NOW, AS PRESIDENT-ELECT,
TRUMP IS PROMISING RESTRAINT.
>> I DON'T THINK WE'VE SEEN THE
END, BY ANY MEANS, OF TRUMP
UTILIZING SOCIAL MEDIA TO
TRY AND INFLUENCE THE COUNTRY
AND POLITICS.
ADAM: E.J. POWERS, EXECUTIVE
VICE PRESIDENT AT MONTAGNE
COMMUNICATIONS, SAYS CANDIDATE
TRUMP RE-WROTE THE PLAYBOOK FOR
CAMPAIGNS AND SOCIAL MEDIA AND
HE THINKS PRESIDENT TRUMP MIGHT
TRY TO DO THE SAME WHEN IT COMES
TO GOVERNING.
>> YOU COULD ULTIMATELY SEE IF
CONGRESS BEGINS TO BLOCK HIM ON
SOME OF HIS ISSUES, HE MIGHT
ACTIVATE SOCIAL MEDIA AGAIN AND
GO OUT ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL AND
UTILIZE THAT TO PRESSURE
LEGISLATORS IN IMPORTANT
DISTRICT
ADAM: TRUMP HAS ALREADY PROVEN
UNBEATABLE IN THE FIELD.
ST. ANSELM PROFESSOR OF POLITICS
CHRIS GALDIERI SAYS A KIND OF
PERMANENT CAMPAIGN MIGHT WORK,
BUT THE QUESTION WOULD BE WHO'S
HOLDING DOWN THE FORT IN
WASHINGTON.
OF COURSE, IF RESIDEN
PRESIDENT TRUMP
EVER STARTS FEELING BOGGED DOWN
IN THE BELTWAY, ESCAPE WILL BE
JUST ONE TWEET AWAY.
>> MY GUESS IS IT WILL BE VERY
DIFFICULT TO KEEP TRUMP FROM
USING SOCIAL MEDIA THE WAY HE
ALWAYS HAS.
ADAM: EVEN AS TRUMP IS PROMISING
TO KEEP THINGS MORE PRESIDENTIAL
ONLINE HE WAS AT IT AGAIN ON
, TWITTER THIS MORNING GOING
